- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- Wave 9 Managed Services Limited
Significant events
- “The group underwent a financial restructure which completed in March 2025. The company is now wholly owned by a new parent company, Pilkerton Limited, which is owned by Elm Corporate Credit DAC who also provide the senior, secured loan facility and management. All historic covenant breaches have been waived, with covenants put in place for the period from June 2025.”
- “As part of the wider financial restructure, a targeted cost reduction programme was undertaken between January and March 2025 which led to the exit of 12 heads, principally from the wider management team.”
- “To help accelerate the group's strategy and provide additional experience to the leadership team, several senior managers joined during the year. The group's Chief Executive Officer joined in September 2024, with the Chairman and Chief Operating Officer joining in March 2025 and the Chief Financial Officer joining in October 2025.”
- “The group continues to streamline its support systems, including the roll out of the highly automated Halo Professional Services Automation ("Halo PSA") ticketing and performance tracking system during the year. There has also been a significant investment in migrating from private infrastructure to cloud based services, providing higher levels of agility and reducing cost.”
- “On 29 July 2025 a charge was registered at Companies House in favour of Elm Corporate Credit in connection with the refinancing of the group. The charge is secured over the company's assets.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
